Check 600 words. Work on Persuasive. Use a separate sheet. Counts for 600 words.

• For each of the reasons you gave on the dialogue sheet, write a brief example that illustrates it.
• For example, if you said that you have so much homework that it keeps you from getting enough sleep, you need to briefly describe a time when that happened. Describe the details: what all the homework was, how long it was taking you, how late you were up, how it affected you the next day, etc...
• Now choose one of the examples you used to illustrate one of your arguments for less homework. EXPAND it into 150 + words that really SHOW what you're talking about.  "My bleary eyes need toothpicks to hold them open, as I almost blindly creak open my math book..."
• This will be the intro of your persuasive essay. Due Thursday.
